Thanks! You can see in the "looking west" photo the completed backyard fence..... We finished the backyard fence last week.
The chicken yard/compound will go to the end of that fence.

Hello everyone! I'm looking for some Freedom Ranger chicks. Do any of you have any or know anyone who might?
Thanks,

I don't know about what happens south of the metro area but up north here there is also a swap the same day as the Denver one in Greeley, It's at JT Feed http://www.jtfeeds.com/ and starts real early. We have been known to go to both on the same day because Greeley starts so early and Denver so late that we can do both if we hussle, we have the ducks already loaded up anyway.
Also there is one in Brighton on the odd months starting in March on the second Sunday. It's behind the Ace Hardware on Bromley Lane. That's another real early one.

The chickens slept in their new (but not totally finished) coop last night. There's very little better than knowing those adorable yet horrendously stinky and, at 6 weeks, huge chickies are no longer i my garage! They seem to be much happier, too.

Almost hit a wild turkey on the way in to work this morning - wandering in the middle of the road near 48th and Harlan. I've never seen them venture into the city before!

No way ! Really!! We don't even have them up here, the stupid coyotes have probably done away with them.

But, my dd and I were coming back from watching my oldest dd play softball in Alamosa and somewhere between Fountain and Pueblo we saw a large group of them down in a river (no water) gully. There were probably about 20 of them and some of the males were fanned out. Beautiful!!! I was rediculously excited. It's just so cool to see animals in the wild now days.

There was a guy on CL last week that posted about 5 female wild turkets landed on his property and he would sale them for $40 a piece. That's just not right in my opinion.

Some people will do anything to make a buck. I mean honestly, just appreciate that the turkeys came to your stinking property.
